Rejected by my Mate, Claimed by the Alpha King

CH 7.

The way she mentioned my name sent a sense of pride through me but this was not the time to revel in my joy. We are in a serious situation and I was torn between listening to my mate and granting the rogue's wishes. For the first time, I was afraid of having my mate hate me because I took a life.

"Okay." Lucy I'll let him live.

"No. We had a deal." the rogue roared.

My mate cowered in fear at the sound of the rogue's voice.

"No. Kill me please. We had a f*****g deal."

My mate shrank in fear and my beta Scott knocked him out before he could get any more violent. Lucy still has her face in my chest and she peeks out a little glance at the unconscious rogue.

"It's okay. He's not dead" I try to comfort her.

"Then what?"

"He's just been knocked out. He'll wake up in a few hours."

"Damian don't kill him. I feel there's more than he's actually letting on."

"What did he mean when he said I should do it? What should I do" I ask inquisitively.

"You.. let's just go back to the pack house and I'll explain everything to you."

I nodded in response and together we walked hand in hand back to the pack house.

When we arrived I walked my mate into my office and mind-linked Scott to give us some privacy. I closed the door and offered my mate a seat. She sat down nervously and took in a shaky breath.

I sat by her and comfortingly rubbed my hands up and down her back but before I knew it she crashed her lips against mine and soon our lips were dancing in a tantalising kiss.

Soon she's straddling and my hands were lost in her smooth and beautiful brown hair. She tugs a little bit at the roots of my hair and this causes me to moan in pleasure. My right hand trailed down to her waist and slipped under her top. She shivered a little when my hand touched her bare back.

Before this could escalate more than it has, I stopped it before it got out of hand. I pulled away and she whimpered a little but we remained in the same position. We are silent for a while and then I decided to break the silence.

"So what was that rogue talking about?"

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath before reopening her eyes to talk.

"When I was at my old pack my Alpha's son Roman had a girlfriend called Mira. One time at school I was at my locker and she banged my head against it because she 'claimed' she heard that I had slept with her boyfriend Roman and..”

"Wait you slept with someone before me? I asked angrily with a pained look in my eyes.

Patience, maybe it's not what it seems. Deon tries to tell me.

I listen to him and try to calm myself before telling him to continue.

"Actually I didn't sleep with Roman. He raped me and the next day in school he raped me in the janitor's closet. She heard of it and confronted me.

She actually beat and slammed my head on the floor multiple times which knocked me out cold. I then had the moon goddess visit me in my dreams where she told me that I'm extraordinary and that people will come for me. She told me that I should trust only you and that when you mark me my powers will start to develop and it will become stronger when we mate. I really am sorry I couldn't keep myself for you." she said and amidst tears.

She sobbed in my arms and I consoled her.

"Don't worry. It's not your fault that you had the type of life you had. I know you tried your best to fight him off. At least I know you love me to fight for me to be your first. Even though I wasn't your first I will certainly be your last."

"Okay sure"

"So for you to activate your powers I have to mark you" I clarified.

"Yes"

"Do you want me to mark you?"

"Damian, I haven't known you for long but I feel as if I already know and trust you. I'm not just saying this because of the training and the powers or because of the war or whatever. I want you to mark me because I know in my heart that we have something special and I want to be with you in every single way but I'm not ready to mate. But yes, Damian Storm I want you to mark me."

"But if I mark you and we don't mate within the next few days you will go into a forced heat and you will be in excruciating pain. I can't do that to you"

"But..”

"You think about it then when you're ready you tell me. I will be more than ready to make you mine."

She nods her head in agreement.

"It's late and I'm hungry," I yawned.

She got off my lap and I led her downstairs to the kitchen where I asked her what she liked for dinner.

"Pasta" she replies with a smile on her face.

I fetched the needed ingredients and 15 minutes later we were eating the food.

"This is delicious" she said with her mouth full of food.

I just smiled at her and continued eating. Soon we were done and I took our plates to the sink and started washing them. I didn't get very far when I felt her petite hands sliding down the length of my back. I shivered in delight and turned my back towards her.

I ambled towards her with a smirk and she backed away until her back hit the counter. I stalk closer to her and when I'm all up in her personal space I bring my hands up to her waist and lift her onto the counter.

I join our lips together and we are soon lost in each other's arms. She pulled away and I trailed kisses down her neck.

My urge to mark her increased as my canines started to protrude from my gums and I nipped her neck. She notices and pulls away with a smirk on her face.

She kissed me soundly and pulled away from my embrace and she looked at me with a strict face and said.

“You're not ready to mark me so until then no nipping at my neck. Capiche?" She finishes with her finger pointed at my chest.

"Yes, "I reply.

"Good"

I pulled away and she got off the counter. We head upstairs to my room.

When I opened the door, she headed straight for the bathroom to take a shower.

I entered my closet and by the time I came out she was covered in a white fluffy towel she headed towards the closet and I headed off to the shower.

In the shower, my thoughts ran to all the events that have happened today. My mate is the one to end the long-standing war between the werewolves and hunters.

I have not known Selena that long but I know that I am in no way prepared to lose the one good thing that has happened to me in a very long time. I finished and exited the shower. When I entered the bathroom I noticed Selena was already asleep.

"She must be exhausted from the day's event. I don't blame her though." Deon comments.

"I know but it's not her fault. It's her destiny that the moon goddess gave her and she has to fulfil it.

We can't stop her. The only thing we can do is protect and support her." I replied to Deon.

I enter the closet once more and come out in a pair of sweatpants. I crawled into the bed and snuck my hands around her waist and spoon her from behind. She shifted a little closer and soon I joined her in a world of dreams.
